My Suicide Note Was Short And Sweet

By the time you read this,
I will be gone.

At the time I wrote this,
it was because you were.

Love,

Yourself.

    This one made me crack up... and I'm sure there's a ton of people who would give me a tongue lashing for laughing about suicide. We all know the first two lines are rehashed in nearly every suicide note or poem... and the second two- well, lost love is a common "reason" (though I personally think it's a poor reason, but I know I shouldn't judge) The final two lines are what could confuse someone who's not familiar with your sly wit.
    Nicely done, man.
    PS can I have a turtle? Please? LOL.

    this made me think more then any poem i have ever read. 23 words. 6 lines. if this suicide note was real, what was this person's life like? to leave a suicide note to themselves, and no one else..... i never thought i would love something so simple, but this was an amazing piece!!

    I loved the simplicity of this , the basic short, sweet and to the point. It's own harsh reality speaks for itself. I bet you didn't expect this much fuss did you ? but I have to say I love what BLADED-SILENCE said above me ...Good Job , Be Safe , Catressa

    oh my, this is very very short but it heads straight into my heart... it is so very strong for so few words... enough to make one cry and weak in the knees.. and what every suicide note trys to say... wonderful!

    well spoken.

    i flushed my suicide note down the toilet as soon as i realized i wasn't dead. funny how we change our minds in the morning. it is true that myself and i were not in the same place that night.

    Lovely, what a lovely think to say. Well that's what I do, you know? I'm a poet, I spend all day compressing shit into different sandwiches to pass the time.

    dang....its blunt...thats for sure..it's funny how someone has enough courage to kill themselves and then not have enough courage to explaing why in their letter...in my opinion,neways..like some will say its not your fault, i just couldnt handle life or whatever...but..why couldnt they handle it? and why weren't you there to help, or why didn't you hear the cry for help..i dont know...i think my suicide letter would be a really cruel april fool's joke..short, but says alot..well done

    Woah, one of those things I had to read over a couple times before I got it. That's really cool, though.

    hmm...

    that's all this made me think, was hmm...it makes an immense amount of sense, it is short, not flowery, to the point, and full of meaning and feeling.

    i like
